Me too. Minus the going bankrupt every time I shop there.

Thrown out by a local restaurant. Imagine taps across the top.

The yeast fridge.

Way more fun than elementary school math.

Only if we can measure it in swimming pools. I think 1-2...

One of my favorite coffee drinks has both chocolate and cayenne and it's delicious...maybe the chocolate-habanero or mole stout, but add a little coffee?

The way I would convert it (and this might be less than precise because of other factors) would be to do a simple ratio equation with each ingredient: amt of ingredient called for in original recipe/7 gallons= actual amount needed (x)/5 gallons cross multiply to get (amt called...

I think it's pretty unlikely that the hops themselves are introducing the infection. Besides their natural antiseptic properties, like you said you're boiling the snot out of then. Maybe try making a hop tea with some of the Target to see if you can isolate the off flavor to them? If it's...

Pac Man, 001, s-05...basically anything clean and boring (read:versatile) if I'm going to have to use it for EVERYTHING. As someone else pointed out, there's always difference in temp to give it some variation.

In addition to buying base grains through a group bulk buy, sometimes I go to the LHBS and just buy 10 or 20 pound of different specialty malt uncrushed and store it in 2.5 or 5 gal buckets. No price break, but the convenience of having a variety of ingredients on hand so I can brew whenever I...

That's fantastic, I'm totally going to steal it for my computer wallpaper. Is there a "women brewers" group on the brewspace side of this forum? If not, we should start one!

Both National Homebrew Day and International Workers' Day?! I wonder what it would take to get my birthday changed to May 1st?

1) Black Butte style porter 2) The dryer 3) My first attempt at Pliny and an organic cider

Over estimating efficiency Underpitching Inconsistent fermentation temps

I *heart* my refractometer. If I had bought it before I broke 3 hydrometers it would have paid for itself...

Oh and, PS, I've also been canning sterile water for yeast washing. The boiling process helps deoxygenate the water and helps puts the yeast to sleep. But you want o2 in the wort when you actually pitch the yeast.

I've recently started boiling a big batch and canning sterile wort. I just store it in the fridge for starters, since as far as I can tell the ph requires refridgeration. This might be my new favorite brewing strategy. No, boiling and cooling DME for a starter isn't much of a big deal. But...
